CINEMA AND DVD RELEASES

Here you get to add your comments on films and dvd's you have seen so we have an excuse to highlight alternative DVD releases with an art and politics bent. For instance the long running Poetry Picnic in Sydney, run by the Alternative Arts Festival - is due to start releasing some of its readings in large local garden parks , on DVD before long . Then there are videos of half hour plays from the same Festival (including rehearsals and animations).

I am going to see the latest James Bond cinema film "casino royale" - which I read the book about some years ago. It is supposed to be more true to the original Ian Fleming creation than most films apart from the Sean Connery versions. I'll tell you what I think soon.
